monument

The Chand Minar, this is called. It reaches 210 ft and was originally covered with Persian glazed tiles.
All part of the Daulatabad fort complex. A fort that has never been taken! At the very top of this structure, there’s supposed to be a canon with an inscription “creator of storms”. Am not sure of the storm. But its a riot to the eyes and imagination. “ It draws its inspiration from the Qutub Minar’, our guide says in a hushed undertone. And I wonder why. As though the Chand Minar will feel bad when it hears this.
He is a silly wise man, I feel the Chand Minar will feel bad!
For the Chand Minar, looked at from its context is exquisite in itself. It is beautiful.
Absolutes are an opportunity to relish beauty in its full form. ‘Relative’s distort.

The Qutub Minar is tall. With a seeming rush to reach the sky. But when you stand at its base, you realise that the rush isn’t a compromise on aesthetic. Or design, for that matter.
Function needn’t be at the expense of aesthetic. A win is a win, but an elegant win stands tall.

Real tall.
